Although many new housing developments are being built, there are also 1,600 farms totaling more than 135,000 acres.The community of Cedar Mill provided the wood for Portland to be built, and then the produce to feed its growing population. Cedar Mill grew up around the site of a water-driven sawmill established by Justus Jones and his son John Halsey Jones in 1855. In 1869 they sold the mill to John Quincy Adams Young and his partner, William Rust Everson. The area was originally heavily wooded, but as more land was cleared, the economy shifted to agriculture.
